Living Room n°85 ~ @living_roooom sleep set

~~~

q. pls introduce yourself:
a. Hi we’re asio and usof from the Living Room crew


q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. We were invited to perform a sleep show by the Ouvido Absoluto crew in Coimbra. We were very excited because playing a sleep set was always something we wanted to do. We've been collecting tracks specifically for an occasion like this for many years. On top of the different tracks we were improvising with a variety of digital instruments, to create an organic canvas of sound that is always moving, but very slowly. The idea of influencing dreams with music is one aspect that we found particularly interesting. So for that reason the set is not always focused on creating comfort, but rather different, sometimes quite alien moods.


q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. Sleeping and dreaming.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room…
a. Perhaps the red desk light in Cosmos (technically our living room:). it creates a very cozy atmosphere.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. The whole Living Room crew is soon set off to play at Waking Life. After that we’ll have a string of events in Lisbon, with the next one being on the 6th of July.

WASTED by @xxxiiinnn — Out Oct 31st, 2025
Order here >> https://appendixfiles.bandcamp.com/album/appx-xin01-wasted

xin’s WASTED lands on Appendix.files with nine pieces that drag the club through a compost heap of trash(ed) recordings, corroded basslines and scraps of rave memory, forming a porous archive of dance music’s residues – transfigured. Composed of field recordings of waste, the album doesn’t recycle so much as ferment, mulching the detritus of dance culture into something gurgling, volatile, and eerily alive.

Alongside the music WASTED expands into print and website: a zine and wasted.reluctant.promo hold xin’s texts ‘hospicing dance music’ and ‘unsustainability’, extending the artists reflections on exhaustion, precarity and the cultural afterlife.

There’s a sonic depth and mood here that sits somewhere between Raime’s shadowed tension, Carrier’s electro-acoustic sleight and the spacious dub mutations of T++, while its textural apparitions feel as though they’ve been dubbed over a battered Jon Hassell cassette — the otherworldly nostalgia burned away, replaced with a hard-won momentum, like flooring it toward the next gas station before Immortan Joe’s war party closes in. WASTED reads as dance music after the fire: glamour gone, structures wrecked, a stubborn pulse still smouldering underneath. 

opening drifts in on fizzing debris and low-end churn, like a bin bag caught on a breeze. trash dub assembles a crooked percussion grid; compost believes in life after death hovers between hymn and hiss before plunging into the jagged kicks of wasted anew. Mid-record, enough to exhaust and indoors in time stretch the remnants thin, teasing collapse. The last sweep — plastic legacy, no permanence, for now and apocalypse era (i dreamt i glimpsed eternity) — folds exhaustion and faint euphoria into a single long exhale.

Mastered by Ike Zwanikken, artwork and design by Amos Turner, WASTED is Appendix.files at its most thematically aligned: a porous document of cultural leftovers, decomposed into new sonic growths.

APPX:XIN01 WASTED by xin (previews)

‘90s nostalgia recontextualised by New York’s J.P. Wright

"I think nostalgia sucks and can definitely be stupid and reactionary which is very much symptomatic of the times we’re living through right now, but just sort of reckoning with that contrasted with how beautiful I think a lot of that music is and so ahead of its time that it’s still super relevant and only starting to really be appreciated maybe."
